The Canik SFx Rival-S delivers competition-grade precision in a full-size platform engineered for serious shooters. This optic-ready pistol combines a match-grade 5-inch barrel with advanced slide porting to reduce muzzle flip and enhance follow-up shot accuracy. Factory-equipped with the MeCanik MO2 red dot sight, it eliminates the guesswork of optic selection and mounting.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard striker-fired pistols, the SFx Rival-S features a ported slide design that actively manages recoil impulse during rapid fire. The Dark Side coating provides superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional finishes, while the ambidextrous controls accommodate both left and right-handed shooters without modification. The included MeCanik MO2 red dot comes pre-zeroed from the factory, saving time and ammunition during initial setup.
